Having problems with your E-Machines eMachines Desktop PC ?

My computer will not turn on. My niece turned off my power strip and now my pc will not boot back up.

Answers :

Check the plug on the back at the power supply, and make sure the switch next to the input is set to "1" not "0". Just because you niece turned off your power strip, should not have caused failure to your system. Let me know...Tim
